A garlic press with a cylindrical outer shell having a large open top end and a slightly smaller open bottom end. The botton end supports a foraminous plate onto which is placed the herb, such as garlic, which is to be crushed for juice. An inner cylindrical ram is integrally connected to a cap portion, which cap portion threads onto the outside of the larger open end of the outer shell. The ram is grooved with radial slots which contact the herb to be crushed and cooperate with holes in the foraminous plate to extract juice from the herb.

A press for crushing herbs or the like comprising: a rigid generally hollow cylindrical outer shell having a bottom portion defining a bottom opening and an enlarged externally threaded top portion defining a top opening of relatively larger diameter than said bottom opening, said top portion being integrally connected through a radius to said bottom portion; a circumferential shoulder integrally connected to the bottom portion of said cylindrical outer shell, said shoulder being spaced from the interior surface of the bottom portion of the outer shell, said shoulder extending a relatively short distance upward from the bottom portion toward the top portion of said outer shell and defining an interior channel within said bottom portion; a foraminous plate releasably connected to said shoulder by a downwardly extending peripheral flange extending downwardly into said channel; a hollow cylindrical ram telescopingly received within the interior of said outer shell, a grinding surface defined on the circular bottom portion of said cylindrical ram, said grinding surface including shallow radially extending grooves over the surface thereof, said grinding surface having a diameter smaller than said circumferential shoulder and substantially equal to the diameter of the cylindrical ram; and a cap integrally connected to and extending radially outward from the top of said cylindrical ram and having a depending skirt portion extending downwardly over the enlarged threaded top portion of said outer shell, said depending skirt portion further having raised ribs at equal arcuate locations around said cap and being internally threaded for threaded engagement with said threaded top portion of said shell, whereby an herb placed on the foraminous plate is crushed between said plate and the descending grinding surface of said ram as said cap is turned and juices contained in the herb are thereby squeezed out through the foraminous plate and the open bottom of said outer shell.
